Butterfly Briscoe Hill Book Hollywood Beach Road, Chesapeake City, MD
 

News flashThe book, CHESAPEAKE CITY - THE CANAL TOWN THROUGH THE YEARS, is filled with wonderful old photographs of the region, original illustrations, and stories of life in this small rural community, and brings Chesapeake City history to life, for residents and visitors alike. Carefully rendered historical documentation, as well as detailed memories of the town's oldest residents, were used in bringing Chesapeake City's history to print.

The book has been well-received both locally and regionally. The year 2000 limited-edition printing sold out, and we are now offering the second edition printing, with minor technical corrections. All content remains the same. The book sells for $30, plus shipping and handling.
